Yea they might be older types but for rapid growth hard to beat. My 5yr. olds spaced 2ft apart almost look like one huge plant. plus the fragrance mmmm I guess im just an old fashion simple type but i love em. almost as fragrant as my royal standards.

Honeybells

Yep..some of the older ones are just great for growth rate. Honeybells was one of the first ones I got in the early years of my addiction. I'm wondering why I don't have a pic of it saved ??? Hmmm I'll have to remedy that this year.

Honeybells is one of those good old standby plants that we take for granted, I think. I did actually take a pic of mine for once. It's not the best site, as the poor thing is crowded in behind a huge Lady Isobel Barnett and under an Arnold's Red honeysuckle in need of pruning. My DD has a ring of them (yes, the dreaded hosta ring) planted around each of the oak trees that flank her driveway. They make a nice flowing mound and really set off the hosta beds that spread out from them, and also help to soften the line of the drive that's cut into the hill.
